Question

Beatrice was unable to concentrate on her project because her brother’s stereo was turned up to full volume. Which statement is correct? A comma is needed in this sentence before the word "because" to separate the dependent clause from the independent clause. The phrase "on her project" should be separated from the rest of the sentence by commas on both sides. The dependent clause follows the independent clause in this sentence, so no comma is needed. This is a compound sentence made up of two independent clauses, so no comma is needed.

Answer 1

the answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The dependent clause follows the independent clause in this sentence, so no comma is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a dependent clause follows an independent clause, there is not need to include a comma as opposed to when the dependent clause is before the independent clause.

In this case the dependent clause being "because her brother’s stereo was turned up to full volume", follows after the independent clause which is, "Beatrice was unable to concentrate on her project". There is therefore no need to put a comma.
